I am watching the hell out of For All Mankind, first show since maybe the first couple seasons of GLOW that have been so eminently bingeworthy.

My favorite stuff for the past year or so are all the little jazz music lessons online at Youtube. I can't pretend to get it all and can't play 7th chords on a guitar for crap, but I do think some things that were always voodoo make a bit more sense to me. Some of them like the funny one on Steely Dan's use of the 'mu' chord would I think even be entertaining for just a fan of the band. Barry Harris is one cool mf'er.

I just started watching Mythic Quest, not having realised that we somehow had a subscription to Apple+. First four episodes are fine, in a sub-Silicon Valley sense. Then the fifth episode is actually brilliant, tonally very different and, as far as I can tell, a total curveball.

The 1971 documentaries on Apple+ are brilliant. Well-known stories retold well, with great use of little-seen archive material.

I dunno if AMC+ counts as one of these platforms, and especially for Kevin Can F*** Himself, because it airs on regular AMC a week later anyway, but that show is so great.

If that ever shows up on Hulu (which gets some AMC shows) I'm gonna check it out for sure. The concept is great.

I have not seen those or at least remember watching any, but I have watched more than a few of Barry Harris sitting around a piano with a smoke in his mouth.

The one that helped me a bunch and I have been trying to find it for well over six months was this Italian guitarist that stated to quit moving your hand and look at the intervals you have within your fingers reach. For some reason that one really clicked with me and did help a bunch.

This was the Steely Dan Mu chord one I thought was entertaining enough non-musicians but fans of the band might enjoy.

Wait, which Italian guitarist?

The last few episodes of S2 are hands down the best TV I've watched this year, absolutely gripping. We should probably make a dedicated thread for the show

^no spoilers please, only on S2E3.

Our Style Is Wild And You Know You Can't Tame Us: GLOW on Netflix

^ Vinnie means there should be a dedicated For All Mankind thread.

Yep. Though I do want to watch GLOW sometime!

I come in peace... three times a night -- FOR ALL MANKIND (Apple TV Plus)

I was sort of hoping Schmigadoon! would be good because my family (though not I) loves musicals, but I have a hunch it is not good. The trailer was perhaps 100% laugh-free, and that's what they're hoping will get you to watch it.

(Btw, knowing the concept, I'm calling it now: The only way to leave the magical musical town of Schmigadoon is to find true love, which I predict will turn out to be ... a true love for the town, ending with the protagonists deciding to stay. That's how these stories, from Local Hero to Pleasantville, always seem to end.)

okay now I'm kind of glad there wasn't an S2 of Lovecraft Country

I enjoyed this Gossip Girl review (haven't watched the new show)

I just watched it, it is not great, but I am still going to watch the whole thing anyway.

(the main issue is absolutely that all the characters are so far charmless, particularly the female ones; no one has the charisma Leighton Meester did, who was adorable even when being a fucking nightmare)

Schmigadoon looks both deeply unfunny and incredibly cheap.

Brigadoon-related? HISSSSSS.

The Other Two finally back on Aug. 26 on HBO Max

I happened to look that up recently - glad it’s finally back! Loved the first season (especially the sister character).

Definitely going to watch this this weekend:

Finally, macca speaks about his life in music

I hope they go into his pre-Wings stuff.

We Are Lady Parts is lit

We loved it.

The Mysterious Benedict Society is a very good kids show

My god the Apple TV+ interfaces suck.

Paramount+ seemingly runs on rubberbands and a hamster wheel, the interface is sooooo slow

Disney+ finally wised up and made their “Search” UI a grid of letters rather than a single line you had to scroll thru back & forth.

Goddamn, Mr In-Between ended on a note! Presumably the series is done, I don't know what they do from here.

Anyone else sometime struggle with darker/night scenes?

Had to completely black out the room to watch final Fear Street movie last night and Disney+ also seems pretty bad. Think it's more to do with the streaming than tv settings eg first series of Mandalorian I didn't have Disney+ so torrented and on those files certain dark scenes are much clearer to see than they are if I watch them through Disney+.

It's a problem I've had for several years now...I assume the studios do it intentionally to save on costs. It is particularly bad in Game of Thrones.

Yeah but this seems to be a problem with the quality of the stream rather than the actual content - you can see what's going on in some of those Mandalorian episodes much more clearly if watching the downloaded torrents compared to streaming it direct from Disney+

does it look blocky and pixelated?

No, defintely not a bandwidth issue.

Bit of googling has found loads of threads on Reddit and elsewhere about it with various solutions so will try some of those later

Aren't the torrent sources ripped from stream? Why would they look different, TV vs PC output?

Goddamn, Mr In-Between ended on a note! Presumably the series is done, I don't know what they do from here.

yea its done, Scott Ryan has said as much - for him, this is something he's been involved with for years and years, he wants to do something else now.

I too have had many rants about How Bloody Dark everything seems to be lately! I dont think its apple or netflix specific - i think its intentional asthetic?

The Macca/Rubin show was way more entertaining than I thought it would be.

I’ve only watched one episode, but I love it. Rubin is such a gentle interviewer.

yeah its great so far

Started Betty last night on HBOMax but have to say the first episode didn't hold my attention, just not in the mood for poor acting mumblecore tv I suppose; does it get better?

My god the Apple TV+ interfaces suck.

Mostly

Started Sasquatch on Hulu, so far so good.

I'm watching Warrior on HBO Max and wow, it is some ripe trash. Lots of fun in its way, though.
